The tenth installment of the main Saw franchise is almost upon us, and we have a new trailer that not only sees the serial killer John Kramer (Tobin Bell), a.k.a. Jigsaw, back killing people in creative ways, but also the return of his protégée, Amanda Young (Shawnee Smith).

The film takes place between the events of Saw I and Saw II, and sees John Kramer, who is dying from brain cancer, head to Mexico for an apparent miracle cure. It turns out that the whole endeavor is meant to con dying people out of their money, and John is none too happy about it. John does, however, know how to deal with his disappointment—he comes up with one of his elaborate death schemes (including the return of Billy the puppet!) to teach them a lesson before his presumed demise.
Here’s the official synopsis:
John Kramer (Tobin Bell) is back. The most disturbing installment of the SAW franchise yet explores the untold chapter of Jigsaw’s most personal game. Set between the events of SAW I and II, a sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer—only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. Armed with a newfound purpose, the infamous serial killer returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through devious, deranged, and ingenious traps.
In addition to Bell and Smith, Saw X stars Synnøve Macody Lund, Steven Brand, Michael Beach, and Renata Vaca. It’s directed by Saw VI filmmaker Kevin Greutert with a script written by Peter Goldfinger & Josh Stolberg.
Saw X premieres in theaters on September 29, 2023.
